“I only ask to be free. The butterflies are free. Mankind will surely not deny to Harold Skimpole what it concedes to the butterflies!”
Bleak House • Charles Dickens“Move swift as the Wind and closely-formed as the Wood. Attack like the Fire and be still as the Mountain.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“It is unlikely that the good of a snail should reside in its shell: so is it likely that the good of a man should?”
Discourses • Epictetus“Whatever is in any way beautiful hath its source of beauty in itself, and is complete in itself; praise forms no part of it. So it is none the worse nor the better for being praised.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“No one knows how greatness comes to a man. It may lie in his blackness, sleeping, or it may lance into him like those driven fiery particles from outer space. These things, however, are known about greatness: need gives it life and puts it in action; it never comes without pain; it leaves a man changed, chastened, and exalted at the same time--he can never return to simplicity.”
Sweet Thursday • John Steinbeck
